Carl Orff quotes

“Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.”

-- Carl OrffSource : "Through Music to the Self : How to Appreciate and Experience Music Anew" by Peter Michael Hamel, (p. 18), 1979.

“With Carmina Burana, my collected works begin.”
-- Carl Orff -
-
“The subject matter covered in Carmina stays pretty basic: love, lust, the pleasures of drinking and the heightened moods evoked by springtime. These primitive and persistently relevant themes are nicely camouflaged by the Latin and old German texts, so the listener can actually feign ignorance while listening to virtually X-rated lyrics. (Veni Veni Venias! Come, come come now!)The music itself toggles between huge forces and a single voice, juxtaposing majesty and intimacy with ease...”
-- Carl Orff
